Nextjs + Shadow UI Project with MySQL2

Welcome to the Shadow UI project repository! This revamped version explores the use of MySQL2 as the primary database solution.

Project Structure

This project maintains a clean and organized structure, employing Next.js for server-side rendering and optimized performance. APIs facilitate seamless data interaction, while Zod upholds data integrity through rigorous validation.

Key Technologies

• Next.js: The foundation of our project, providing server-side rendering, static site generation, and routing for a dynamic and efficient user experience.
• APIs: Act as intermediaries between the frontend and the database, handling data requests efficiently.
• Zod: Enforces data validation using TypeScript schemas, guaranteeing data consistency and reducing runtime errors.
• MySQL2: The chosen database solution, offering a mature and feature-rich platform for data storage and management.

Prerequisites

To embark on this development journey, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

1. Node.js and npm (or yarn): The essential tools for project management and dependency installation. You can download them from https://nodejs.org/en.

2. MySQL2 Database: Set up a MySQL2 database server locally or on a cloud provider. Refer to the official MySQL2 documentation for installation and configuration instructions: https://dev.mysql2.com/doc/.

3. MySQL2 Connector: Install the appropriate MySQL2 connector for Node.js using npm or yarn:

   npm install mysql2

Project Setup

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone <repo_url>

   Replace your-username with your actual GitHub username.

2. Install Dependencies: Navigate to the project directory and install dependencies:

   cd shadow-ui-project
   npm install

3. Configure MySQL2 Connection: Create a configuration file (e.g., config.js) to store your MySQL2 database connection details:

   module.exports = {
     host: 'your_mysql_host',
     user: 'your_mysql_user',
     password: 'your_mysql_password',
     database: 'your_mysql_database',
   }

   Replace the placeholders with your actual MySQL2 credentials.

4. Start the Development Server: Run the development server to launch the application:

   npm run dev
